This study presents a broad overview of health-system reforms in OECD countries over the past several decades. Reforms are assessed according to their impact on the following policy goals: ensuring access to needed health-care services; improving the quality of health care and its outcomes; allocating an "appropriate" level of pubic sector and economy-wide resources to health care (macroeconomic efficiency); and ensuring that services are provided in a cost-efficient and cost-effective manner (microeconomic efficiency).While nearly all OECD countries have achieved universal coverage of health-care risks, initiatives to address persistent disparities in access are now being undertaken in a number of countries. In light of new evidence of serious problems with health-care quality, many countries have recently introduced reforms intended to improve this, but it is too soon to generalise as to the relative effects of alternative approaches. A variety of instruments aimed at ... This paper is also published under OECD Economics Department Working Papers Series.

Dans cette nouvelle édition actualisée, Françoise Molénat rend compte d'une démarche éthique novatrice, initiée en fin des années 1970, actuellement en pleine dynamique. Elle pose les bases éthiques de tout travail de prévention précoce mené par les équipes de périnatalité auprès des familles en souffrance. La prévention de la maltraitance, des troubles du développement, des dépressions parentales est à portée de main. Changer les habitudes exige un effort collectif pour que les regards se croisent, que les cultures se métissent et que la position de « prévenance » s'impose avant la survenue des troubles en santé mentale. Pour cela, sont requises la rigueur interdisciplinaire et surtout une exigence éthique quant au respect de la place de sujet de chaque interlocuteur concerné, sans laquelle des parents blessés dans leur image d'eux-mêmes risquent de fuir toute proposition d'accompagnement. Des témoignages émaillent cette réflexion qui s'appuie sur la subjectivité des parents, mais aussi sur celle des intervenants proches d'une famille en construction. Les questions éthiques inhérentes à l'avancée dans la part intime des familles sont le fil directeur de l'ouvrage.

One of the most important advances in the delivery of healthcare has been recognition of the need for developing highly functioning multi-disciplinary teams. Such teams, when structured in a cohesive fashion, can function more effectively and efficiently than the sum of their parts. The benefits of teamwork extend from the delivery of care to a single patient to the overall structure and function of entire care delivery systems. Recognizing the value of collaborative approaches for improving all aspects of healthcare delivery and having champions, leaders, structure, function, goals, and accountability are paramount to success, regardless of how defined. Another important pillar of teamwork is excellent communication with clearly defined information flows and cross-verification mechanisms. This book outlines how to work together for shared goals in a complex, diverse, and constantly evolving health care system.

The State of Health in the EU country profiles provide a concise and policy-relevant overview of health and health systems in all EU countries, Iceland and Norway, emphasising the particular characteristics and challenges in each country. They are designed to create a means of mutual learning and voluntary exchanges that support the efforts of countries in their evidence-based policy making. Each country profile provides a short synthesis of: the health status in the country; the determinants of health, focussing on behavioural risk factors; the organisation of the health system; and the effectiveness, accessibility and resilience of the health system.The profiles are the joint work of the OECD and the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, in co-operation with the European Commission.
